  : Comfortable beds, there were plenty of bathrooms on each floor so were always available. Location was good for walking into town and also the view from the window was great. Nice to have breakfast available at the hostel as well.

  : Clean, cleverly made facilities and stylish decor. I felt and slept well there. Nice and easy going staff, breakfast included is a nice bonus. Good location, bus stop from and to Cuenca Fernando Zbel train station in the radius of 50 meters. Highly recommended.
  : Nothing at all.

  : The room I had, at the front of the building, had a balcony and view more or less over the river, or a clump of trees, at least and an area where people sat relaxing , drinking coffee. I have to say that coming from Madrid where I had been for a week I found this peaceful setting lovely. The room was very big with a ladder leading up to a mezzanine level where I could have slept. I chose however to sleep lower down at floor level. The bathroom was modern. Overall I would rate the room 10+. It exceeded my expectations. The wooden beam work inside the room added to the tastefulness of the room. I would rate the style of the rooms interior 10+. The location of the hotel, on the edge of Cuenca, would be in my view, another advantage and draw. Cuenca is not a big place so anything I needed was available within 5 to 15 minutes walk. The woman on reception, during her shift, was very helpful and I was able to use the washing machine. I would have extended my stay but the room was booked, so I found other accommodation, also very good.
  : Beyond the room there were a few things about which I would be less positive. Other than a microwave there is nothing to suggest that a kitchen is available. The man on reception at my arrival was not the most welcoming person and was most concerned about securing payment as if he thought I was going to do a runner. Another man, older, when I checked out of the room and spent some time downstairs in the reception area as there were 3 hours until I could check into the next hotel (Not that I was planning to spend 3 hours waiting here obviously) made such a racket unloading the dishwasher; I mean it seemed as if he was so angry that he was taking it out on the plates, smashing and clashing them about the place as he unloaded that I couldnt help thinking, being the only person in reception, quiet and contemplating, that this angry man was sending me a message about waiting in the reception / table area. Whatever his motive, I thought his conduct unprofessional and hostile. I often found the 3 to 4 hour interval between changing hotels/ hostels very inconvenient travelling around Spain, if you were remaining in the same place.
